People are using perfume as hair dye to disastrous effect on TikTok

Thought styling one’s hair with Gorilla Glue was a bad idea? TikTok cosmeticians are now dyeing their locks with perfume and straighteners in a trend experts have dubbed dumb and dangerous.

The hairbrained beauty hack first caught fire after TikTok influencer Agbe filmed herself applying perfume to a straightener in a clip with 1.2 million views. She then ran her hair through it, whereupon it changed color from blue to hot pink. However, eagle-eyed viewers quickly noticed that her instant-Billie Eilishization was actually a figment of the imagination.
